Princess Dye Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Good 2nd half for us. However he is the result of what happens when you are always in the zone but not blessed with amazing stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Damn. Was hoping he'd return at that price but he probably wouldn't see much action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Wow, I didn’t want Nova back but that is ridiculously cheap, depending on how tough the incentives are to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve brought him back for that price as well to be a swingman out of the bullpen, but he probably wanted to go to a team where he would get an opportunity to start. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Nova was a good soldier. He was a guy alot of the young Sox pitchers complimented as a good mentor. If I'm not mistaken wasn't he the guy (or one of the guys) who had all the starters go to the bullpen to watch a teammate who was about to start the game throw? I wish him the best. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to keep him for a bullpen role. But good shit getting that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I wish Nova the best. When I heard that he offered young Hispanic players like Lopez money to do interviews in English so that they would try to get more comfortable speaking a second language, I appreciated him a lot more. He didn't have his best stuff anymore but he grinded out a lot of games and did his job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I hope we see the bad Nova during our many games vs. Detroit. When he was bad he was bad. He could be good on occasion as we all know. We could really tee off on him at the Cell hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I like Ivanova . Sounds like a Russian hockey player when put together. He did exactly what they expected him to do .pitch and stay healthy . And he did more by mentoring . Thumbs up from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except all Russian females take the "A" at the end from their father's names....Ivanov becomes Ivanova, Pavlov becomes Pavlova, Sharapov becomes Sharapova, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does what he did last year, they could probably move him at that salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
